Cracked Ice

I'm afraid the previous reviewer does Stan Fischler a disservice, because if he doesn't know who he is prior to picking up the book he's setting himself up for a disappointment. Fischler happens to be one of the most knowledgable men about hockey but he also happens to be New York based and reports on the Islanders and Devils so you would have to expect that he's going to focus chiefly on his own strengths. Devoting space to the moves of Minnesota and Quebec would be like asking a Quebec writer/broadcaster to devote equal space to the travails of the Islanders and Devils. And while as a Ranger fan Fischler's anti-Ranger bias has annoyed me for years at times, he is a knowledgable insider and the best hockey author I know of. This book is worth reading.
